Seashore - I think everyone finds their own way (to smash it down). I think it's an interior process, because... there's some things that are hard to take. So there are different ways to resolve to deal with the feelings inside, be it revulsion, anger, disgust, objection, whatever. It could come out as a letter to the editor, a new song or tangle of poetry, trying to talk to your political rep, praying, a drinking bout, over or under eating, graphic art or taking pictures, yelling at the kids, ...
The main thing is you. No one of us can do it ourselves. The way we express our feelings is unique (and various!).
I think we learn from experience what works and what doesn't, e.g. oh gee there goes the spouse, or I feel really crappy right now, or that just doesn't feel right, again. Maybe ascension is a bit about 'rising above' the muck, like the lotus symbolizes in Buddhism, kind of a higher perspective (like altitude) on the lower slam dance of our activities.
godspeed
